Use Enough GunNow THAT is a conversation piece for a trophy room!
I wonder what the length is on the horns? Anyone know?

BNagelHigher volume safari outfits majoring on kudu have all sorts of non-typical heads. "Hunting The Spiral Horns : KUDU" shows a few. Blaauwkrantz Safaris (Rudman family) keep some of the oddball horns around. That heart shape is a first!

Austin HunterI think it would look best as an European mount. That would really accentuate the horn curvature versus the head.
I'd take this Kudu over a 60" anyday

I wonder if vinegar has the same effect on horn material as it does with eggs.

NakihunterIt does with ivory! The ancient Greeks used vinegar to soften and peal ivory into flat panels and used it to line the insides of the Parthenon.
